I've been away for a while, but i am back to invade my favorite sillies askbox's!!

More about transfem pran, i beg of you. Does she deal with gender dysphoria? If yes, how?

(just one example question. I will most likely come up with more)

HI I MISSED YOU !!!!

Yes she does 100% I would say she shows it IN game actually. There's a scene where Lynn has her help move some heavy books I think ? But he mentions her height and she just straight up drops the shit and leaves. Height dysphoria def-

Also her hair ! She does not know how to care for it- Lynn talks about how she used to go around with paint in her hair for days because she just didn't wash it. For someone as apathetic as her, the easy choice would be to cut it so it didn't get in the way. So I'm calling bullshit on her I don't care bit, she DEF cares.

UMM???? GUYS????

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

Me giving the random guy who came into my job my number because he wouldn't back off when I said no and I have zero backbone:

Ares, who lectured me about that exact problem not three hours prior:

😁😁😁

So I did it HIII 😁😁😁

(I took the photos for this post again so they are not great, all stuff pictured is from @peachiseas !!)

STICKERS I LPVE STICKERS HI

I think these are so cute the one with the cats and the bear I can't 😭😭 I don't even have a ton to say descriptive-wise ab this order I'm just showing off tbh

Showing off the tapes and stamps in my journal !! The page is unfinished bc the writing got a bit personal so this is before that stuff ❤️ the letters tape (top stripe) is really cute and I have some really fun ideas for it. The confessions one I cut into pieces bc I really loved the stamp concept and I wanted to play with that way more than I did with my other ones. Also the stamp is great, works well and I used it on 2 of my writings already !!

(Also no one cares ab this part except me but I keep both tapes and the stamp on my altar for Lady Aphrodite and she likes them v much <3)

Lastly I would like to brag ab my ever growing sticker collection, they are very precious to me they live in a bag on the headboard of my bed 😁

Working on annotating the iliad rn and it says that the leaders took Trojan women as slaves and 'trophies'- Very curious as to whether this includes Odysseus, since I know a lot of his story is based on loyalty to Penelope.

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

So erm

ANYWAYS here's what I found in the five below clearance aisle last night.

I felt bad that her stuff didn't have like a spot so I made room on my nightstand temporarily ?? Idk if it's technically considered an altar because I don't use incense due to my sensory issues, but she has a spot now ❤️🌹

Also MatPat is here......... idk why it felt right. ALSO ALSO I was eating pocky last night so I gave her one idk if she liked it but it was nice. Im also not sure how long to leave it there.

I finally got new tarot cards ! I've really missed using them and I decided to use them to speak with Lady Aphrodite– She was very kind <3 (This was my first time using the cards as a way of communication since I'm still new to Hellenic Polytheism, but I've used tarot for a few years.)

Also ! I find it interesting that I've ended up with two things for my altar for her and none for my other deities when she isn't even the one I'm most focused on in my worship right now (Ares, Apollo, & Artemis). I didn't buy either of her things. I have this childrens necklace (?) from the 1970s I got as a gift from this local vintage shop.

I was originally considering putting this on either Lady Aphrodite or Lord Apollo's altar once I move out and can have them, but then today one of my coworkers gave me this. She said she thought I'd like it.

It's this like super cute 50s (as far as she said) porcelain sugar container. It's so so pretty and I think she'll like it once I'm able to get something set up for her.

Anyways nobody asked about any of this, I just love her a lot <3

Every female character design can be improved by making her fat

I need to make everything about ME so here's what I think every our life / xoxo droplets love interest would add to your altar.

Cove: Seashells. It does not matter who the altar is for. He finds one he thinks is pretty, adds it, then asks if they're going to hate it.

Derek: I was thinking motivational notes. He wants you to be your best self just as much as they do <3

Baxter: CRYSTALS ! Like fitting ones too this loser will look up 'love crystal' on google when dating an Aphrodite devotee and think he's all that giving them rose quartz.

Qiu: Drawings !! Cute little doodles like suns and statues and trees. I can also see them getting into poetry writing.

Tamarack: Sort of like her stuff from the forest in step one, I definitely see her making a REALLY good altar for Demeter, but just natural stuff in general !

Nate: I'm gonna be real I just see him looking over your shoulder at any writings / prayers / letters and correcting your spelling and grammar. (He means well– They're for someone important, after all.)

Everett: Jewlery and other trinkets ! However he is not going to actually admit they're FOR you, he'll pretend they're his that he just doesn't like anymore, wdym you've never seen his pomegranate charm ??? Stfu.

Bae: He's the one I see bringing the food offerings. He thinks he's better at everything so he'll make food for you and act like he just did everyone in the world a favour.

Shiloh: Just... the worst (best) additions. I don't know how to explain exactly but like your Hermes altar now has a rubber chicken on it. No, he doesn't know how it got there, why would he ?

Jeremy: A little bit of a cop out but I think he'd like help clean and cleanse your offerings before they go on. He doesn't really care about the practice in general, but he also doesn't trust you to clean anything properly yourself.

Pran: More drawings but in like a darker way- I see her art fitting more on something for Ares than for someone like Apollo.

I've seen this saying being passed around a few times. Not sure where it is from, but I love it:

If you don't know who to pray to, then pray to Hermes. Even if he cannot help you, he knows someone who can.

If you’re ever having a breakdown, just remember the wise words of the lord himself

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

You are loved by the Gods. Every part of you is loved and will always be, no matter what you do.

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

Remember your gods...

In tarot the major arcana often represents something you can't control while the minor arcana represents something you can. With the devastating results of this election, treat it as a major arcana moment because while you can't control the outcome of this election, you still have all the minor arcana cards at your disposal and can petition the gods who can sometimes manipulate the major arcana cards to favor us as well.

I don't know why this happened and I won't pretend to know but I do know this, your gods are with you and will help you get through this.

For now take care of your mental and physical health, focus on the things you can control and take breaks from social media often because the news outlets are betting on you doom scrolling because they get money from your engagement and fear mongering gets that engagement. Also fear makes us irrational and makes it easy for someone to convince us to give them the key to our home so long as they promise they can protect us because fear makes people more vulnerable to scammers. We become unstable and can easily fall prey to those who will pretend to sell us safety and comfort in exchange for control.

Try to stay safe, stay sane and remember that your gods are with you and will protect you no matter how rough it gets.

You are divinely protected.

Nvm getting tf up and going to work bc Apollo doesn't want me to rot in my own depression.

Every other man who walks into my job today is going to rub this in my face and I am going to be required to laugh as if its not a death sentence for thousands of trans people.
